ab terī zarūrat bhī bahut kam hai mirī jaañ
ab shauq kā kuchh aur hī aalam hai mirī jaañ

ab tazkira-e-ḳhanda-e-gul baar hai jī par
jaañ vaqf-e-ġham-e-giriya-e-shabnam hai mirī jaañ

ruḳh par tire bikhrī huī ye zulf-e-siyah-tāb
tasvīr-e-pareshāni-e-ālam hai mirī jaañ

ye kyā ki tujhe bhī hai zamāne se shikāyat
ye kyā ki tirī aañkh bhī pur-nam hai mirī jaañ

ham sāda-diloñ par ye shab-e-ġham kā tasallut
māyūs na ho aur koī dam hai mirī jaañ

ye terī tavajjoh kā hai ejaaz ki mujh se
har shaḳhs tire shahr kā barham hai mirī jaañ

ai nuz.hat-e-mahtāb tirā ġham hai mirī ziist
ai nāzish-e-ḳhurshīd tirā ġham hai mirī jaañ

ab teri zarurat bhi bahut kam hai meri jaan
ab shauq ka kuchh aur hi aalam hai meri jaan

ab tazkira-e-KHanda-e-gul bar hai ji par
jaan waqf-e-gham-e-giriya-e-shabnam hai meri jaan

ruKH par tere bikhri hui ye zulf-e-siyah-tab
taswir-e-pareshani-e-alam hai meri jaan

ye kya ki tujhe bhi hai zamane se shikayat
ye kya ki teri aankh bhi pur-nam hai meri jaan

hum sada-dilon par ye shab-e-gham ka tasallut
mayus na ho aur koi dam hai meri jaan

ye teri tawajjoh ka hai ejaz ki mujh se
har shaKHs tere shahr ka barham hai meri jaan

ai nuzhat-e-mahtab tera gham hai meri zist
ai nazish-e-KHurshid tera gham hai meri jaan
